Prologue
As the dust cleared, it became obvious that the bars had not struck a single player on Raimon's team. Kageyama's sinister grin was replaced with a frown.
Kageyama watched the screen in front of him as Kidou ran down the hall. He was followed by Genda and Jimon, and that irritating detective. Kageyama scowled even more. He was trapped here. He would have to use his last resort.
"Come here."
A figure stepped out of the shadows. "Yes?"
"Kidou is on his way here, and he's dragging the detective with him. There's no time for me to get out of here." He leaned forward in his seat. "I've lost my grip on Teikoku. But no matter. They have become weak. After this, we execute Project Z."
The commander picked up a flash drive off his desk and handed it to the girl standing aside. "You know what you need to do, Rin."
"Yes, father."
The rapid clicking of computer keys was the only sound in the room. The person situated at the computer pulled a flash drive from their pocket after a few minutes of typing and plugged it in. The light from the screen shone onto the flash drive for a moment, illuminating an engraved letter 'Z.'
The person in question was a young girl; a second year in junior high, in fact. The computer screen left a bright gleam on the surface of her squared sunglasses, which effectively his the girl's eyes. Her long hair, tied into high ponytails, had a dull purple hue. She wore a uniform of dark green with red trim that could only belong to Teikoku. Soon, she wouldn't be needing it anymore.
After the file on the flash drive had finished copying, the girl unplugged it and stood. Placing it on the floor, she brought her foot down on the object a few times, effectively rendering it useless and making it impossible to get any information out of it.
Sitting back down in front of the computer, she opened the red file. 'Project Z.'
"Now..." she said to herself, scanning the first few lines, "I have some recruiting to do."
